I'm glad to find this forum. I've read that you can add txt files to the pilot, but everytime I try, I get an error message saying that the file is not compatible. I have been trying to add the txt files to my media folder, but I read on here that you can add them anywhere, but the pilot won't let me. Does anyone know why? I have an insignia pilot 8gb.

You can drag & drop using the Automatic mode as well. I'll double check to see if this works with txt files. The reason I bring this up is that my experience with my Pilot is if I switch between "file and folder" and "automatic" mode I eventually lose songs and albums. Since I began operating in the Auto mode only, I have not last any music off my Pilot.

Do you see an error message when copying the file or when trying to view it?

I use Windows Explorer and my Pilot is set to "File & Folder" mode. Handy feature. Best for small txt files. Like artist/album info, song lyrics, or shopping lists.
